Ending world hunger is tackling corruption in chaotic places in the world. Not an easy feat. Just look at how fast the taliban took over when the US pulled out, or how corporations (capitalist and communist alike) buy from slave labor states

Definitely strive for it, but pointing at economic differences is circle jerking

The political instability many nations experience today didn't develop in a vacuum though, the US and UK in particular (also others) have their fingerprints on much of Latin America and the Middle East, and much of that interference was profit-driven

No doubt power consolidated more power and are at fault for the problems in the world. But other countries follow suit and few separate themselves from the pack. The majority of people around the world are apathetic at best and only interested in their direct social/family circle and that's the biggest hurdle for global unity
